Materials of β-Cu2−xSe were fabricated by using hydrothermal synthesis followed by evacuating-and-encapsulating sintering. These materials were then characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron ...

Thermal conductivity of alumina and kaolin clay were investigated as a function of the water content at different stages of drying compared to linear shrinkage. Thermal conductivities of the samples ...

Using a gelation-freezing method, diatomite-derived porous silica ceramics with high porosities up to 90% were fabricated. Diatomite particles contain large numbers of meso- and micropores, intrinsically reducing the thermal conductivity. In ...

In this study, the effect of freeze casting method to fabricate thermal insulators is analyzed. Gelation freezing was done to create unique honeycomb-like microstructures with high porosity. A Hot Disk ...

Research has been focused on the Co-based thermoelectric family since the discovery of thermoelectric properties in NaCo₂O₄ ceramics. The formation of strong grain boundaries has been achieved in several ...

The purpose of this study was to measure the thermal conductivity of cementitious Kaolite 1600 for its potential to replace the radioactive materials in ES-2 containers. A Hot Disk Thermal Constants ...

In this study, the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of various wall decorative materials were measured using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Additionally, the thermal emittance of ...
